Zumaya's "accident"

by rpm2419 on Nov 2, 2007 12:04 AM EDT

Detroit radio host Mike Valenti read it first on the air today but it looks like big Z may have been caught red handed on this one. Eye witness accounts have it that Zumaya was riding a four wheeler at imperial dunes in southern california when he got into an accident. Should be interesting as to what comes out about this but once the story broke on ESPN someone in the comments section wrote the real story and couldn't believe the fudge job on it. Accuracy when into as much detail as the license plate number of the four wheeler and the specific model he was driving. Hopefully, by tomorrow i'll have more details on this to follow it up.

kind of obvious

most of these "fell in the bathtub" stories are just PR jobs. Knew a PR guy and they had fun with this.

I think the bathtub one was a code for injured hand in barfight. Can't remember though.

"Flu-like Symptoms"...

...is always a favorite of mine. Pounding head, stomach feels terrible, just want to lie in bed for a few more hours. Do you have the flu? No, "flu-like symptoms." In other words, hung over.

LOL

Used this one myself Pedro, freshman year of college, broke my hand on some guy's face in a pick up football game and missed all of fall ball. Told coach I slipped in the shower.

Damn senior CF ratted on me. I drilled him all the time in intersquad that spring, we got along real well. :)

Heh

The fact that baseball players constantly get horrific injuries doing everyday normal things which you or I could do every day for a lifetime without even a scratch never ceases to amaze me.

Hahaha, I recall one where someone stabbed themselves with a cutting knife or something? These are always a laugh because it's so obvious that they're made-up.

How about Bob Ojeda?

Bob Ojeda, the ace left-hander of the Mets, suffered a career-threatening injury yesterday when an electric hedge clipper nearly severed the upper part of his left middle finger as he was trimming the honeysuckle bushes at his home in Port Washington, L.I. (1998)

He was also in the boat with Tim Crews and Steve Olin in March 1993.
